How do I create a folder in a GitHub repository?

Question

I want to create a folder in a GitHub repository and want to add files in that folder. How do I achieve this?

Answer 1

Git doesn't store empty folders. Just make sure there's a file in the folder like doc/foo.txt and run git add doc or git add doc/foo.txt, and the folder will be added to your local repository once you've committed (and appear on GitHub once you've pushed it).
